16. Revolt arising from tumultous intermixture of castes is not needed. False pleas of the pride of high caste is not needed. Do not become an overbearing bully on account of the four castes or dharma. Do not become a heterodox pandit. 17. There is no hopeful state for the learned in Vedas and Vedanta or those full of pride in their learning. This comes in the way of the path of devotion. 18. The ignorant, with the might of faith, will cross the ocean of existence. But the enigmas of those learned in the shashtras stand no such chance. 19. The nescience of the ignorant disappears and the problems arising from doubts of those proud of their learning will be removed and purity of mind will be born, if they place their faith in saints and surrender. 20. May that be whatsoever! On one occasion, due to the workings of good fortune, a strange incident happened. It was written in the destiny of an orthodox Brahmin to have a rare meeting with Sai. 21. His objective was different. By divine coincidence he had the opportunity of coming to Shirdi and to see his own Guru. 22. Listen to this very interesting tale which illustrates the greatness of the Guru and

disciple. 23. An Agnihotri2, surnamed Muley, an orthodox and pious resident of Nashik, came to Shirdi once, on the strength of his earlier spiritual merits. 24. If he did not have that strength (of these merits), no one could stay a moment in Shirdi. No matter how strong the determination, only Baba’s will prevailed. 25. One could think, ‘I will go and, stay there as long as I like’. But it did not depend on his choice. He was under total control. 26. Many egotists were humbled when making such decisions, and making pronouncements of ‘I, I’. Sai was an unfettered entity. 27. Till our turn comes, Baba does not think of us. When we do not even hear

of his virtues, how can the desire for darshan arise? 28. Many had longed for Sai Samartha’s darshan, but none got the opportunity till Sai’s Nirvan3. 29. Having continued to postpone the visit and procrastinated, many found it was too late, as Baba had passed away. 30. They kept deferring the matter from to-day to tomorrow and so on. Ultimately they were deprived of the chance of a face-to-face meeting and repented for it. The darshan was irrevocably lost. http://www.saileela s.org/books/ sss/index.
